Dan Shears Selects 032

We’ve been gifted an exclusive stream of Brighton based Dan Shears & The Velveteen Orkestra’s new EP ‘Against A Sea Of Troubles’, along with lead track ‘In The Shadows Of Better Men?’ stream it in it’s entirety below.

>Dan’s darkly woven sound is very cinematic, engulfed in an atmospheric enclave of mandolins, mellotrons, strings, accordions, clarinets and pianos. Dan channels his emotions through warm and expansive compositions, his vocal tremble is redolant of Thom Yorke throughout he salutes his influences Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and ‘The Boatman’s Call’ era of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds along the way.
